Wrongful death is when a person’s death is caused by the wrongful actions or negligence of another.

Yes. If the deceased never held a job, he or she may have contributed in some other way to the family. A good example would be a stay-at-home mom or dad. They contribute services, guidance, and nurturing to the family. These contributions could be considered as pecuniary losses” in a wrongful death action. However, your attorney will be able to guide you more specifically.

Duty of care is defined as one person who has an obligation to act a certain way to another.
